Article by Eric Worrell Still waiting for the promised climate catastrophe. Australia has become 1.5 degrees hotter go through Bianca HallOctober 31, 2024 – 12 am Australia's average temperature has risen by 1.5 degrees for the first time since records began, putting the world on track to exceed the Paris Agreement target of limiting global warming to 1.5 degrees. It's the latest sobering assessment from scientists and meteorologists from CSIRO and the Bureau of Meteorology, who have been mapping Australia's climate change for 14 years. Their latest biennial State of the Climate report, released on Thursday, shows average temperatures continue…
Drilling for our vast domestic oil and gas resources is clearly in America's economic interest, but it's also a great way to achieve world peace and promote our national security. [emphasis, links added] This is a point we've been making for years, but this chart from our friend and prominent investor David Bahnsen hammers it home again. When we drill less, our enemies drill more and get rich off our stupid, unworkable green energy policies.

An undated article from Earth.com claims that “the foundations of life are threatened by climate change.” This is false. Real-world data suggests that the Earth is actually increasing its biomass in response to the last century's mild warming and increases in atmospheric carbon dioxide. The article itself is little more than a jumble of statements, none of which, individually or combined, supports the claim that climate change is threatening life on Earth, as the title suggests. The first paragraph contains only a vague statement: Photosynthesis is the basis of life on Earth, but climate change increasingly threatens this important process.…
Environmentalists insist they like “the little guys”. At least in the abstract sense, until these people get in the way, ask inconvenient questions, or try to block “renewable energy” projects designed to “save the planet” from “man-made climate catastrophe.” [emphasis, links added] Then the little guys learn that environmentalists are working with (and for) Big Wind, Big Solar, Big Utilities, Big Finance, powerful politicians, and crony bureaucrats—the climate industrial complex. If it is blocked, farm families, small rural communities and even Native American groups could face long and costly battles. But they often prevailed. Energy analyst and journalist Robert Bryce…
In many parts of Latin America, when night falls, vampire bats emerge. Vampire bats are known for sucking the blood of living animals. As the climate warms, they are spreading further north. Virginia Tech wildlife biologist Luis Escobar said they could soon arrive in the United States Escobar: “We anticipate that this species will arrive in the United States and that we will notice its presence within the next five to 20 years.” This is concerning because vampire bats are carriers of rabies, a fatal disease. Escobar: “When they bite their prey, they transmit the virus to their prey.” Therefore,…
Christine Walker We are constantly told that climate change is becoming more severe and that natural disasters are becoming more frequent and severe. Neither is true. Tropical hurricanes have struck the Southeast over centuries, with varying degrees of severity. Category 4 and 5 storms are considered the most severe, and this is nothing new. A lot happened before the world's so-called addiction to fossil fuels. The Labor Day Storm hit the Florida coast in 1935 and is considered one of the most powerful and destructive hurricanes in Florida. One question. This is something it will continue to deal with. Records…

not many people know Paul Homewood https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/ckmgmdxg254t Yes, flash floods in Spain are devastating. And, yes, they've happened before. But BBC weather forecasters also claim that extreme rainfall events like this are becoming more common: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/ckmgmdxg254t As usual, the BBC will not provide any evidence for this irresponsible claim. Rainfall data for hard-hit Valencia also provide no such evidence: https://climexp.knmi.nl/ecaprcp.cgi?id=someone@somewhere&WMO=237&STATION=VALENCIA&extraargs= KNMI daily rainfall data clearly show that extreme rainfall is neither common nor extreme. According to the Spanish Meteorological Institute, rainfall peaked in the area at around 200 millimeters, which is certainly not unprecedented: https://www.standard.co.uk/news/world/spain-valencia-flash-floods-chiva-video-rain-bodies-found-weather-b1190929.html The BBC said there was…
Article by Joe Nova, $650 million in renewable energy doesn't save Brisbane from blackoutsfocusing on key observations about the limitations of renewable energy in protecting urban infrastructure during extreme weather events. Nova's narrative reveals broader criticisms of the reliability of renewable energy, the effectiveness of government subsidies and the often overstated capabilities of green solutions. According to Jo Nova, despite significant investment in renewable energy (some $650 million over five years), a recent storm knocked out power in Brisbane, Australia. She stressed that the outage was a stark reminder that renewable energy, which relies heavily on weather conditions, cannot provide…
A series of thunderstorms hit the eastern Spanish state of Valencia and nearby areas on Tuesday afternoon and evening, causing catastrophic flooding and becoming one of the country's worst natural disasters in years. According to The Nation, at least 92 people have died as of 2:21 pm ET on Wednesday. Some of the worst flooding occurred in outer areas of the Valencia metropolitan area. As climate scientist Erich Fischer points out, the community of Chihua, located about 20 miles (32 kilometers) inland and about 1,000 feet (305 m) from the center of Valencia, reported 160 mm of rain in just…
